Coronavirus

And now we're out of masks and hand sanitizer. Yet China, oddly, had no such shortages.

Just [b]maybe a profit driven business is not who you want in charge during a pandemic, when meeting the needs of the moment may be unprofitable due to worries of "overstock" once the pandemic ends.. [/B]

Can you help us ?

Coronavirus hits Democratic communities harder than Republican counterparts

Awful. Not kidding.

densly populated cities tend to be democrat majority, and they also happen to have the highest infection rate because of said density of population. Didn't need an expert to make me hip to that

It is unfortunate. NYC is saying they are gonna use parks to bury victims.

Really? Do you have a link for that?

Are they saying they'll section of some parks as cemetaries?

I too am doubtful of that. I have heard that they set up temporary morgues, but nobody is getting burried at Central Park or any other park

I think it's going to be controversial for some because they are saying it will be "temporary internment". I feel like some people wouldn't like the idea of disturbing a loved ones grave. Here is a link:

Oh yeah, I see what they mean. It's just too many deaths at the same time. I've read stories in other parts where families had their loved ones body in their home for days, because the system is just overwhelmed.

My job is in Manhattan. what clever angle are you attempting now?

PVS is right but the article is about the state level, not just city.

Since the states with the largest cities also lean heavily democratic, and Republican Controlled states have lower population densities, they are just measuring, for the one gorillianth time, another population statistic.

Microbial infections spread more quickly in higher density populations. Democrats lean more towards urban and suburban in support. So you're going to just indirectly re-discover this same information any time you undertake exercises like this.

because lady luck is my b!tch, that's why. at peak of outbreak I was still going through nastyass port authority bus terminal, pushing/pulling on the same unwashed doors that tens of thousands of people use per morning and afternoon. yet I remained as untouched, pure, and virginal as starfly's penis

*edit* however did manage to catch both strains of flu this season

forgot to mention the many nj transit bus trips to and from PABT, standing in the aisle packed like sardines. I really have no right to be healthy right now, but oh well, I'll take it 🙂

Good for you, I guess.

So now some fools are actually blaming Capitalism for shortages of equipment?? Pathetic, but not really surprising since so many have been brainwashed into loving communism.

Hey CDTM, if you prefer communism over capitalism so damn much then how bout you pack your bags and move your butt to China then? No one ever said capitalism is perfect but it's by far preferable to communism.

I'm going by what Capitalists themselves have admitted. Their operations are tuned for profit margins, not to meet a crisis. And they aren't about to overhaul their entire systems for something that may pass within a year.

Meeting the needs of Americans in a crisis is not their concern.

China doesn't really have communism, it's generally considered to be state capitalism, that comes with its own advantages and disadvantages of course.
